If it puts it in perspective, I am flying home for post deployment leave, after spending 7 months in Afghanistan, and spending the first weekend home packing up the car with some friends and making the trek down to Joliet, just to be here. I am flying from nearly halfway around the world, just to be at this event. Yes, yes it is worth it lol.

And don't forget, as an added attraction you can always stop over at the NPPL Chicago Open and see some of the nation's top pro players in the tournament. This is the only event in the nation where you have a professional tournament and one of the world's most well-known scenario events all in one weekend at one of the world's most amazing venues.

I wish i could be there friday morning but I have a job. I wish I could go to my boss and be like "I can haz fryday off?? Fur payntball?"

D-Day is really only one day of actual game play. Legends you get 2 days. You also get to meet, rub elbows ,shoot at and shoot along industry pioneers, VIP's and legends of this great sport. You cant beat that.

legends is the largest event in the Midwest and we call it an event because in addition the the scenario game it's also host to the NPPL's Chicago Open, and all that implies, scenario and tournament venders, being able to rub shoulders with legends from days gone by and the latest tourney players, at one of most state of the art fields in the US.

Was at the event last year but didn't play it. Just saw how amazing it was really wish that I had not missed pre-registration for this year. I'll be there for NPPL but might try to squeeze in some LL5 action as well.

Is there any other factors to include in LL over Dday? I honestly don't care about meeting pioneers or large names in the industry (though I'm sure most people do);however, shooting nerf rockets sounds much more entertaining than specific colored paint at a designated area.

Also. to address the OP question, YES it is worth the money. I saw it for first time at LL3 when I was there for NPPL, and was like OMG I want to play this. The following year I played NPPL & LL4,.. this year I'm going back just for LL5!
